Such ignorance!

If you knew beans about economics, you'd know that *trade*,
including, among other things, buying by mail order, is essential to
a healthy economy. Small economies that don't trade, or that restrict
trade, are self destructive, causing their members a lower standard of
living and denying them the best of what is available.

Buying from somewhere solely because it is "local" is just another
variety of chauvinism.

And stupid, as well.
